# AutoExif

**AutoExif** is a user-friendly tool that provides an intuitive graphical interface for the powerful [`exiftool`](https://exiftool.org/) utility. It enables users to view, edit, and remove metadata from images and videos effortlessly. Whether you're a photographer cataloging your work, a developer analyzing media files, or someone prioritizing privacy, AutoExif simplifies metadata management across multiple platforms.

---

## ✨ Features

- **Read Metadata**: Display basic or detailed EXIF data (e.g., camera settings, timestamps) from local image and video files.

- **Web Metadata**: Extract metadata from online images by providing a URL.

- **Wipe Metadata**: Remove all metadata or specific types (e.g., GPS, Photoshop edits) from local files, with an option to add a custom comment.

- **Extract Video GPS**: Retrieve embedded GPS coordinates from video files for location-based insights.

- **Thumbnail Info**: Access metadata embedded in image thumbnails, often overlooked but rich with details.

- **Operation Log**: Maintain a record of all actions performed for transparency and troubleshooting.

- **Cross-Platform**: Available as a standalone executable for Windows and a Python script for macOS and Linux.

> **Note for Linux Users**  

> Currently, AutoExif offers full graphical interface (GUI) support only on Windows. For Linux, the tool is functional via the Python script, but lacks a polished GUI experience. A comprehensive GUI, matching the Windows version, is in active development and will be released soon (exlcuding darwinsism), ensuring a consistent experience across all supported platforms. In the meantime, Linux users can utilize the script-based version / explore the CLI alternative [here](https://github.com/SirCryptic/autoexif/tree/master). Stay tuned for updates!
